• The film's story is based on a true incident that happened in Kerala.


• We all know that Papri Gosh is acting in an important character as the film;s heroine Keerthy Suresh's friend in the film. She made her Tamil debut playing the female lead in Vijay's father director S.A.Chandrasekar's 'Touring Talkies'. It is on SAC's recommendation that Gosh has got the offer to act with Vijay in 'Bairavaa'.


• Like his latest blockbuster 'Theri' this film will also not have any punch dialogue but it will be loaded with powerful dialogues given the proven writing skills of writer-director Bharathan,
